WikisForCollaboration - Group Projects

How can wikis be used for Group Projects?

Alignment:	Avoid confusing email chains by collaboratively building and editing project information in a centralized location.
Tracking:	Collect all assignment details in one place.
Scheduling:	Plan out and manage a shared project calendar.
Brainstorming:	Create a forum where team members can share and comment on ideas.
Drafting:	Create and edit an outline and rough draft right in the wiki — document versioning is built right in!
Researching:	Compile research material and capture bibliography information.
Connecting:	Share team contact information, post responsibilities, and send team updates through the onsite messaging feature.
